And now, for a change of pace--balloons!

My buddy Geri Tzimoulis called me because someone she knew was involved in putting on a balloon festival here in Vegas. When I arrived, the first of fifteen balloons were lifting into the morning aky, while more were being inflated.

The events organizers did a magnificent job, and luck was definitely with them!
